From the New York Post:
Trump, 78, drew about 16,000 fans for a raucous rally at the Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, Long Island, last month.
The former president’s Bronx rally over the summer brought up to 10,000 Trump supporters to Crotona Park, which had a permit allowance of 3,500 people.
ADVERTISEMENTThe World’s Most Famous Arena has the capacity to seat as many as 19,500 inside the main arena.
The Garden — home of the NBA’s New York Knicks and the NHL’s New York Rangers — is no stranger to political gatherings.
The venue hosted the Democratic National Convention in 1924, 1976, 1980 and 1992, as well as the Republican National Convention in 2004.

NBC New York reports:
The rally will kickoff an “arena tour” for the former president who plans to visit battleground states in the final push before the Nov. 5 election, the campaign official tells NBC News.
Trump teased a possible MSG rally in April.
“We’re going to be doing a rally at Madison Square Garden, we believe,” Trump said at the time. “We think we’re signing Madison Square Garden to do. We’re going to have a big rally honoring the police, and honoring the firemen, and everybody. Honoring a lot of people, including teachers by the way.”
“We’ll be honoring the people that make New York work,” Trump said.
